Jay Carney’s vicious, blood thirsty comment: “If even one child’s life is saved…”

A quick rant in reply to this ass of a Press Secretary, Jay Carney, speaking on gun control:

“JAY CARNEY: If these things were easy, they would have been achieved already. If renewal of the assault weapons ban were easily accomplished, it would not need renewing because it would have happened already. The fact of the matter is the president is committed to pushing these proposals. He is not naive about the challenges that exist, but he believes that, as he said yesterday, if even one child’s life can be saved by the actions we take here in Washington, we must take those actions.”

What an unbelievably vicious, blood thirsty thing to say.

“…if even one child’s life can be saved by the actions we take here in Washington, we must take those actions…”

Really. Why? Because one child’s life is saved? THAT calculus is what you propose to drive the laws that will govern your lives, America?

So you’re going to get into a pissing match of tallying children’s corpses? U.S. Grant’s “terrible arithmetic” as the basis of law?!

What do I mean?

What if someone proposes a law that promises to save two children’s lives? Must you take those actions as well? What if it conflicts with the plan you proposed? What if they can show more dead bodies would result from your plan than theirs? Do you then get into a counting match, counting children’s bodies… what then, the one that produces fewer corpses, wins?

What if I propose the immediate slaughter of everyone who has ever shown a tendency towards improper behavior towards children… anyone who has ever spanked, beaten or leered at a child… that would undoubtedly save more than one child’s life… must we put that action into law as well?

Is that the sort of life you want for your child?

You cannot make decisions regarding people’s right to live their own lives, based upon some utilitarian calculus – such a life would not be worthy even of rising to the level of being nasty, brutish and short.

Daily LOL!
